Implication doesn't mean fact, it mean possibility or suggestion. The pattern of phone calls, all by themselves, implicate him...no matter what any person reads into the calls or what the calls were about. The pattern of calls suggest possible involvement in Donaghy's crimes....that's all.
Does it prove it? Of course not.
Was he involved? Probably not, but such phone calls do call him into question (implicate him).
Have they disproven his involvement? I doubt that too. It's pretty hard to prove something didn't happen.
I'm all for assuming innocence but, if more & more suggestive evidence appears to connect him with crimes, it will still lead the NBA to terminate him...employement actions as well as civil actons require far less concrete evidence than criminal convictions.
